San Andreas Quake

This movie contains all the clichés from the 60's disaster movies with none of the saving graces. The only thing missing is Los Angeles turning turtle in middle of the Pacific Ocean and everyone climbing up towards the keel. There is even an old man having a heart attack climbing stairs.

Writing is terrible, the dialogue is pedantic, and the special effects are directly out of the 90's.

The characters are barely one dimensional and the plot totally predictable. Clearly the producers are counting on the confusion of names: "San Andreas" vs "San Andreas Quake."

Glad that I did not pay to see it, but I still want my 90 minutes back!

The film gets 1/10 for the plot, but the acting is lame and unconvincing, the dialogue predictable, and the special effects laughable. Especially the hippo. Disney hippos were more convincing in Fantasia.

The stock footage of a giraffe in the African Savannah, shoehorned into footage of two people in an LA canyon took some balls. Also there is no way a couple celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary by buying a diamond necklace, would have booked a dirty bedroom full of cheap furniture and a nursing home chair in an expensive hotel.

Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful. Although it did make me laugh out loud several times, at each WTF!! moment.

Avoid.

For every blockbuster movie (sorry Dwayne Johnson) there is a spin off...or rip off take your pick.

Whilst not a fan of of spin off's I decided to see this one and it turned out to be a waste of 80+ minutes. If you are thinking of watching this, wait until it comes out on the SyFy channel or something and if you have absolutely nothing to do with your time except count sheep.

With these kind of earth altering event movies, you of course have to through some notion of reality out of the window. The question then is then in this span of imaginative film, is it at least believable? No. The acting wasn't very believable although to give them credit, the budget on assumption couldn't have been that much.

The storyline was of course weak, and there was no way it could be any different either. How much of a story could you develop from earthquakes? Charlton Heston carried his movie (years ago) but these actors aren't a speck off his caliber.

With that said, the lead actors do not carry the movie either so whatever fragment of story is there isn't really held together too well.

Save your time, go and watch the blockbuster version. This is a SyFy flick at best.

Are these actors not embarrassed to make this bad, awful "film"? Are all Latinos extinct in L.A.? There are no Latinos in this awful film. Bad acting all around. Save your precious time and watch something better. YouTube videos are better than this, especially about "Rescue dog", saved from Los Angeles River. The plot is dreadful, the hero in the movie risks her life to go across town, because cell towers are down and can't communicate with her daughter by cell phone, but yet her wireless WiFi is working fine. Also, the movies most sentimental scenes are dreadful and not believable. Lastly, especial effects are pitiful, like from the 1970's.

The Asylum is back with another great Mockbuster. Having brought us previous masterpieces such as Snakes on a Train, Transmorphers, AVH: Alien vs Hunter, The Day the Earth Stopped, Paranormal Entity, and Sharknado.

I find it hilarious that these guys actually make money by tricking people into thinking it's a different movie. At least sometimes the title has a little creativity in it, and that's about it. But "San Andreas Quake"? They basically only have one job, create a title that will fool people into thinking it's a much better movie, and they can't even do that properly. What sort of title is San Andreas Quake? They aren't even trying.
